The penetrating red eye contrasts so well with the warm tones of the crane and it's surroundings. Well captured Satie.

Satie,

It is good to see you posting again :wavey:

I love the great setting here, gives me a sense of the habitat this species lives in. I love the pose, details & light. I especially like how the crane turned its head giving us a nice view of the red eye and the stripe behind it.

A lovely & appealing image as posted.

Beautiful bird and I like how well it is shown in its environment. The headturn to show off that red eye and white eyeline is perfect.

Oh wow, this is great. What an awesome bird and wonderful habitat Satie. I love the head turn and the great look at the bird. The exposure looks great and I think your choise of DOF worked very well for this shot.

A most attractive bird! Good head turn, as others have said. The two taller twigs in front of the body are the only nits I see to pick. Lovely light.
